First New furace/ac install

I am a 22 year old 4th year student at Ferris State University in the HVACR program and this is one of the jobs i did over Christmas break before heading back to school. I took out two old 20+ year old Trane furnaces and condensing units that were were barely working.

Yea the first two years of the program are service work then the last two years are the engineering side, pipe/duct work sizing, controls, equipment selection. I had more experienced help there one day to help me pull wire because the old condensing units were 3 phase with 12g wire and the customer wanted 1 phase condensing units so we has to pull new 10g wire.

the units have factory LL dries. and the other cool thing the furnaces were internally trapped so i didnt have to worry about one outside the unit. No state license yet, i am taking the test in march. I dont really need one because i can work under the company's mech license.
